Strategic Management 2: Developing Business Opportunities. The SMY is structured on the organisational life cycle, including start up, growth and decline phases. The key questions that students will consider are: How do I detect and select business opportunities? How do I develop business opportunities? How do I grow a business? How do I transform a business? This course focuses on the second key question, i.e. how to develop business opportunities. Students will learn about different organisational architectures and how to decide which architectures are most appropriate for different business opportunities. Students will consider organisational arrangements required to successfully implement strategies, as well as organisational arrangements required to generate new strategic alternatives.

Additionally, the SMY explores four themes across all four courses: Critical Thinking, Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Decision Making.
